00:00This is a voiceless sound.

00:10You can hear it at the beginning of the words pack and pan,

00:16in the middle of the words copy and happen,

00:20and at the end of the word hop.

00:23Also at the beginning and end of the word pop.

00:26Now you try. Listen and repeat after me.

00:31Pack, pan, copy, happen, hop, pop.

00:46OK.

00:47For speakers of some languages,

00:54it may be difficult to tell the difference between this voiceless sound

00:58and its voiced partner,

01:01which you can hear at the beginning of the word back.

01:04Listen carefully to hear the difference.

01:07For each example, I shall say the word with the voiceless sound first.

01:12Pack, back, punch, bunch, pump, bump, pull, bull.

01:21Could you hear the difference?

01:23Now let's look at the difference.

01:26Watch the piece of paper.

01:28Pack, back, punch, bunch, pump, bump, pull, bull.

01:38Did you see the piece of paper moving?

01:41The big puff of air forces the paper to move

01:45and you can feel that with your hand.

01:48Pack, back.

01:51Now you try.

01:53Let's go through the words again.
